Can you name the two bands with different SSIDs? i.e. give the 5gz band it's own SSID, or turn off the 2.4gz band?

No to naming individually and the only disable switch is for HT 20/40 coexistence. it seems to work great and I havent had any issues with any other equipment to this day. For the money it seems to be a really good router! Set up is very easy about 5 mins.

Funny you should ask. Although the packaging for the unit does mention support for both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, the player is unable to find my 5GHz network, but is able to discover the 2.4GHz network easily. I'm thinking there's a misprint on the packaging itself.

It uses the same SSID. Don't know about MAC address filtering. Recommend anyone use a wifi analyzer to program an optimal channel on the router. Found conflicts with neighborhood channels after installation.

Hint hint: That is Generation 1 stuff; look at Gen 3 stuff like LTE by Netgear Pro that lets you lock in LTE band that has way better signal reach. My 2 cents :)

Yes you can... I have a corporate and Guest network on both of our AP's... When you first configure the install wizard gives you a choice to configure Guest.. Anyways you configure each SSID for whatever VLAN network you need it on.. BTW.. I'm really impressed with the device, The controller software and their support.. This was the first time using UniFi...

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

Mine works well. No problem at all. The default SSID and PWD is found on a sticker on the cover. Slide open the cover, turn it around and you should see a white sticker with the details.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

I cannot answer that. I bought the ea3500 dual band. Mine does not have the experiment with network option.

Yes, you can keep 2.4 and 5ghz clients separated... You can name your 5ghz something like mySSID_5 and mySSID_2.4 and then have different passwords for them.. . you can also create guest networks that sit on 2.4 AND 5ghz and use different passwords for those as well...

You can, but for best results if using on 2.4ghz you will need to set up each one on a dedicated non overlapping channel (ie: 1,6,11 ) signal bleed over interference is not a problem in 5ghz

When you set up the router you should have to "name" each band. Once it starts broadcasting you can see both. Just pick the one you want.

It's dual band N. It has 2 separate 802.11N based connections. (2.4 Ghz, 5Ghz) And one for G (2.4 Ghz). It offers higher throughput if you have hardware on the other end that supports dualband N.

I have a dual-band router... the Asus "Dark Knight" router (a VERY nice router). It has both 5.0 and 2.4 bands on "n" wireless. My BD device only sees the 2.4 band.In fact, I only have a couple of devices which can see my "5.0" channel. In those cases, I always connect them to the 5.0 band, because it's so seldom used otherwise.

Yes,you have the ability of disabling the SSID broadcast within the settings of the extender.

Yes! This system operates within the 2.4GHz band - and, from my own personal experience, it uses nearly ALL of the 2.4GHz band. It completely walked all over my router and wireless connections.

Yes, you can establish 3 guest networks per band, 3 of 2.4 GHz and 3 of 5 GHz.
